Four Russian and four German artists took part in this book project. Each artist made five lithographs, so that there are 40 in the book; some are hand colored. The prints were made from self-chosen texts from the other country. The prints were horizontally divided such that the texts and images can be mixed from the top to bottom by the viewer. The covers are black & white photographs of the doors of a passenger train. Most of the contributions are accompanied by printed handwritten texts. Note that Daniil Charmes listed in this book is also spelled as Daniel Kharms; both spellings are listed as contributors. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.

Tom Phillips illustrated this new edition of "Waiting for Godot," including a reproduction of his 1985 lithograph portrait of Samuel Beckett. Phillips writes in the Illustrator's Note that he made "from its almost total absence of visual clues the illustrations for the Folio Society edition...that spring from two conversations, one with Samuel Beckett, the other with the Folio Society' production director." -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.

This is the first edition of this text by the authors of "The Medium is the Massage." It brings together all forms of conflict, political, racial, and religious, into meaningful perspective. It offers ideas and an understanding essential to the "electric age." The ideas presented in this book seem to forecast the information age and even the advent of the Internet. The text is combined with multiple black and white images and includes many relevant quotations in the margins from James Joyce's "Finnagan's Wake." -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.

The text, using a great variety of typefaces, is presented in a fashion similar to "Un Coup de Des" by Stephane Mallarme but with addition of illustrations. The images feature a European trade show with industrial products, participants in crowds or individuals and an unknown European city. The protagonist is an anonymous, silhouetted man whose image is repeated throughout the book. The text is mysterious and poetic and the reader can only surmise "the soft edge and the faded generality." Emily McVarish wrote, designed and printed the book in San Francisco. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.

The exhibition featured studio portrait postcards (c.1900-1935) of ordinary British people that were classified according to Phillips in terms of the imagery and content, e.g., Aspidistra; Backgrounds: Studio Seas; Make Believe: Children; Picnic; House: the Terrace; Fantasy Transport: by Car; Dance; Workers: the Factory, etc. Tom Phillips wrote the introduction and James Fenton contributed the Preface: Collecting Postcards. In the latter, Fenton distinguishes between Selective and Accumulative collecting and notes that Phillips' postcards are an excellent example of accumulative collecting. He notes that Phillips has assembled over 50,000 postcards and sorted them into 120 categories. Page 125 in the Pram category depicts Tom Phillips and his brother as babies in a Pram. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
